they do not stand up to even moderate amounts of contact. I thought the same thing 10 years ago and encouraged all of my students to purchase them. I think, though I am not sure, that there must be only one producer of these gloves no matter who retails them. Maybe Gene can shed some light on that. I honestly can not remember if I got them from here or if I got them from C*nt*ry.
The palms tore on EVERYONE's gloves within just a month or two. They actually inhibit grabbing due to the resistance from all the padding built in to them. You CAN grab, just not very well.
IMHO, buy some MMA glove that are classified as 'training' gloves. They have, I think, about twice the padding as a MMA glove designed for competition.
